At night, Ah Sheng came to look for Tang Ling with a pot of plum wine made by himself and some dishes prepared by the kitchen.

At first the atmosphere was a bit silent, but when the wine was half drunk, Ah Sheng broke the dullness, and finally couldn't help asking her: "How have you been these past few years?

Tang Ling took a sip of the plum wine, and said in a slightly sour voice: "First Li Ru murdered the young emperor and wanted to kill me with a white silk, and later Li Jue wanted to force me to be a concubine, but luckily he saved them all."

Her face was calm, as if she was not talking about her past in a calm manner.

She didn't tell who that "he" was, but Ah Sheng knew it like a mirror in her heart.

She couldn't help but asked Tang Ling: "Then where is he now? Why didn't he take you with him?"

As soon as he said the words, Ah Sheng regretted it.Tang Ling didn't want Tang Ling but didn't mind, just smiled lightly.

"Yes, I also want to ask. Why didn't he take me away when he voted for Zhang Xiu. He obviously likes me too, and I've always known it."

Hearing that she was so distressed, Ah Sheng couldn't help but help her to worry again, and couldn't care less about the chicken that was about to be blown by the wind, so she hurriedly asked her: "Then why don't you let him marry you? You have to tell him .”

"But he didn't want to marry me. He didn't give me a word, so he quietly left alone." Tang Ling's voice was muffled, as if it came through a thick quilt, "Why doesn't he want to marry me? Woolen cloth!"

Ah Sheng didn't know how to comfort her, so he was at a loss for what to do and could only continue to pick up vegetables for her in a daze.She looked very thin, and the eye sockets that were originally watery were now completely sunken, and the pupils were also covered with distressing bloodshot holes.Probably after experiencing so many turbulent things in these years, it must be very unsatisfactory.

But Tang Ling was still a girl who loved to laugh. As soon as she grabbed the big chicken leg, she bit it into her mouth hard. Her voice was slightly ambiguous due to the constant chewing of the meat in her mouth.

Maybe it was because she drank too much wine, she no longer had any scruples, and pointed to the north direction loudly and shouted: "Jia Wenhe! Tell me, why don't you take this girl with you, why don't you marry me!"

While shouting loudly to the sky, while supporting his swollen and painful temples, he raised his wine glass to signal to A Sheng that he wanted to drink together, and kept muttering:

"I, Tang Ling, why can't I even keep up with the man I like. What do you think I am inferior to others? They are not as beautiful as me, and they are not as good as I can read and read. They are definitely not as good as I love him. Can't you wish?"

She didn't know if the other person A Sheng was referring to in her mouth, and she probably regarded all the women in the world as enemies.

Shi Xiang was serving food and bowls for them, seeing her master was so drunk and talking so much nonsense, but she didn't want to stop her.

In the past few years, Tang Ling had always been depressed and sullen, but now he was unrestrained.Just let her release the depression in her heart.

The chirping of night insects came from outside the window, and it was sent to the house along with the light fragrance of flowers, which made Ah Sheng feel sentimental in his heart.

She could only chew roast goose and drink with Tang Ling, and when she heard the latter complaining, the sound of tears falling suddenly hit A Sheng's heart hard.

Tang Ling actually cried.

She frowned and pursed her mouth, wiping away the tears streaming down her cheeks indiscriminately, with intermittent choked sobs in her throat.

"But I like him very much."

She tapped the chopsticks to an untuned beat, and began to chant to herself.

"Qingqing Zijin, care about my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't listen."

Tang Ling's singing was almost tone-deaf, and the ambiguity of her voice completely covered up the original tone of the song. It was very difficult for Ah Sheng to recognize what she was singing from her enunciation.

"Let's go, I won't go, Zi Ning... Ning won't come, come!" The word "lai" in the final sound was deliberately emphasized by her, and it seemed to have a bit of resentment rushing towards her face.

"Are you okay?" Ah Sheng listened, suddenly worried about her condition.Could it be that she is too worried and has some hidden mental illness.

While knocking on the chopsticks, Tang Ling frantically shook her head at A Sheng, grinning with an expression of crying or laughing: "I'm fine. I know very well what I'm doing."

***

At that time, Cao Cao listened to Xun Yu and Mao Jie's strategy of "serving the emperor to order him not to be a minister", so he welcomed the emperor and made Xuchang his capital.

On the way to Xuchang, Asheng followed Cao Cao on a maroon horse, and next to him was Guo Jia's horse.

She heard people often comment that Guo Jia often likes to linger in Huacongxiangluo, attracting groups of flirtatious bees and butterflies. As the most eye-catching leader of the famous Guo family in Yingchuan, he has not married yet. wife.

These are not just hearsay, Ah Sheng remembers that he happened to meet Guo Jia in a brothel back then, and sighed at the time when he was so romantic among the beautiful crowd.

Thinking of this, Ah Sheng didn't care whether it was a disrespect or not, he couldn't help but tilt his horse's head slightly towards Guo Jia who was wearing a green shirt, and quietly leaned forward and asked, "Why hasn't Master Guo married yet?"

"The Xiongnu are still alive, why should they call themselves home?" Guo Jia didn't expect to answer her like that.

After hearing Guo Jia's pretentiously deep words, Ah Sheng burst out laughing instantly, and pointed it out directly: "Guo Junshi has not yet found a woman he likes to start a family with."

Cao Cao's laughter suddenly came from one side, and he couldn't help teasing: "A Sheng, you must have underestimated Fengxiao too much. Thinking of his immortal appearance and wisdom, what kind of woman in this world is what he can't ask for?" ?”

Guo Jia did not show an unnatural expression when being teased by the lord, but also laughed along with him, looking young and coquettish against the background of the chic green shirt, fast horse and light fur.

After welcoming Emperor Xian to Xudu, Emperor Xian Liu Xie appointed Cao Cao as a general, Sikong, and Xun Yu as servants and ministers.The rest of the cadres were granted official positions.

When Cao Cao returned from court, a group of people in the mansion had already knelt in front of the door, waiting for his car to drive.

"Greetings to Lord Sikong!" A Sheng intentionally knelt down on both knees respectfully, and greeted loudly in front of everyone.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, and with a meaningful smile on his lips, he took her hand without haste, but quietly tightened his grip, and gently lifted her up from the ground.

There was a deep smile on his brows and eyes, and he lost his usual fearsome majesty: "Madam Sikong please get up quickly, I dare not accept such a great gift."

As soon as these words came out, Madam Ding and the maids beside her were all shocked.Ding Xi stared at Cao Cao complicatedly, slightly shocked and unwilling, but was completely ignored by the latter.

On the contrary, the maidservants who were still prostrate behind Ah Sheng covered their mouths and laughed, but they didn't dare to speak out, they could only silently lament in their hearts the lord's obvious preference for his wife.

Cao Cao took A Sheng's hand and walked into her room. Now that there were no staring eyes around her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao leaned slightly and kissed her forehead, and said with a low smile, "Madam still shy?"

She glanced at him reproachfully, rubbed her warm fingers against his cool skin, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "I want to go outside for a stroll."

"Whatever Madam wants to play, just go and play, just remember—" He suddenly lowered his body with a smirk, and looked straight into her eyes.

She was a little embarrassed by the scorching eyes, and asked quickly, "What do you remember?"

"Madam Sikong, come back earlier, otherwise I will be lonely under the blanket."

I knew he was uneasy and kind!A Sheng glared at him angrily, and quickly slipped out before the night fell, without even daring to look at him.

Today is the Shangsi Festival, and the market is more lively than usual.A Sheng was wearing a light blue skirt, and looked around curiously. No one would have expected that this novel looking woman would be Sikong's favorite wife who is now in power.

"Girl, why don't you take this pair of jade bracelets away, and I'll sell them to you cheaply." An old woman with silver hair greeted her, raising the shiny jade bracelet in her hand.

The ornaments in Sikong Mansion are all exquisite and clear, which is naturally beyond the reach of the goods on these stalls.

But Ah Sheng saw the slumped old woman standing pitifully under the wind, so she couldn't help but took out a few baht money and handed it to her, and said softly: "Then I'll buy it."

She lowered her head and carefully observed the fineness of this pair of jade bracelets, while walking along the side of the road carelessly, accidentally tripping over a big stone under her feet.

"Ah—" She was so surprised that she didn't have time to react, and she fell forward, and the bracelet in her hand flew out, and it was split in two on the ground with a crisp "click".

She got up quickly in frustration, and stared at the pair of jade bracelets that she had not had for a long time, but at this moment, she heard a familiar voice.

"Madam Bian, you need to be more careful when you walk."

A Sheng raised his head in embarrassment, facing Xun Yu's helpless eyes.What a pity, how could I be seen by acquaintances even when I stumbled on the road!

In order to conceal her uneasiness, she hastily greeted him: "Xun Sima, oh no, Mr. Ling." Although she was embarrassed, she was fortunate to be able to remember in time that he had just been awarded the prestigious official position of Shangshuling.

She quickly glanced around, just in time to catch a glimpse of a children's goods store, and quickly picked up a rattle with a bell on it, and asked the seller: "How much is this?"

"Now the price is bullish, this will cost ten cents."

A Sheng didn't care why he raised the price, and hurriedly took out the baht money to the shopkeeper, then turned to Xun Yu and said, "Give this to Yuner, he will definitely like it." His eldest son Xun Yun is only three years old this year, and should Would love this kind of stuff.

A Sheng was playing with the exquisite rattle in his hand, and it kept shaking, listening to the interesting sound of the bell accompanied by the impact of wood, he actually played with this child's toy on his own.

"..." Xun Yu looked helplessly at A Sheng, who was enjoying himself, and wanted to sigh, but stopped in time.

Seeing the silence around him, Ah Sheng realized that his behavior attracted attention. He embarrassedly tucked the rattle into Xun Yu's sleeve, and greeted him with no refusal: "It's just a small thing, it's not a salute."

Xun Yu didn't intend to refuse either, he gave her a shallow salute and said, "Then thank you Madam Bian."

With the breeze blowing in his sleeves, there was an elegant scent of bluegrass and heavy wood. A Sheng couldn't help but take a few more breaths, with a tone of reproaching him for being out of touch: "I didn't even know that at the beginning." How much kindness has been given to you, is this little gift worthy of such gratitude?"

"By the way," she didn't want to hear Xun Yu's polite answer again, so she rushed to ask, "When will you show me Yun'er, speaking of which, I'm still his sister-in-law—"

"Cough, cough, cough." Before she could finish her sentence, a strong sense of vomiting suddenly rushed from her heart to her throat, and she had no time to worry about Xun Yu who was watching from the side, and couldn't help but support the sycamore tree beside her on the spot I retched.

This disgusting feeling made her almost dizzy, and she almost fell to the ground because she couldn't stand steadily.

Seeing that she was not in the right condition, Xun Yu hurried over to support her, patted Ah Sheng's back lightly, and said in a clear and concerned voice, "How are you?"

A Sheng shook his hand at him, suppressed the extremely uncomfortable feeling of vomiting, and smiled gratefully: "It should be because I haven't had a good rest recently, I'm too tired."

Xun Yu kindly handed A Sheng a handkerchief with his unique scent of sweet pine on it, and said, "You should also pay more attention to your body, and dress a little warmer this season."

"Yes, yes." A Sheng nodded quickly, and agreed, "I must have a good rest and sleep, and put on more clothes."

She is actually a little embarrassed now, showing her ugly face in front of Xun Yu, which made her very embarrassed.

I thought he could turn his head away from looking at him, but his handsome face suddenly closed his eyebrows and became serious, and what he said next surprised A Sheng.

"Aren't you happy?"
